CONTROLLED HEAT-TRANSFER IN 2-COMPONENT MAGNETOFLUID SYSTEMS

This paper describes the effects of a magnetic field on heat transfer processes in two-component magnetofluid systems. It is shown that in s uch systems the effect on heat transfer is due to the instability of t he flat interface between the two media, due to forming required confi guration of this interface. It is found that, by applying an external magnetic field, the energy of the mechanical displacement of a nonmagn etic body in a magnetic fluid can be converted to electrical energy.
